Bug 137282 – kdelibs-3.5-patchset-02/patches/kdelibs-3.5.3-kate-fixes.diff make kate crash a lot

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Francesco R. (RETIRED) 2006-06-19 11:42:21 UTC]

As summary say (and after consult with Flameeyes) kate crash quite often when kdelibs are compiled with the patch.
Step to reproduce it:
- open kate, (my default session has ~40 files)
- file new
- paste some random content
- switch to column selection with ctrl-alt-b
- select a region starting from column "0"
- go down with arrow keys untill it crashes.

I've removed the patch, repacked kdelibs-3.5-patchset-02.tar.bz2 and it work like a charm.

On a side note, recompiling with debugging, splitdebug and run kate under gdb make the crash appen earlyer and reproducible quite always.

Any idea on when a fix might make it to the tree?  This bug is driving me up the wall!

I've dropped the patch in kdelibs-3.5.3-r3, I've left the bug open as the patch is now missing.

Marking fixed, as KDE 3.5.4 is in cvs. Sorry for the problmatic patch, I did not experience any issues testing it.
